Jeremy Maclin, WR, PHI - With DeSean Jackson about to miss at least one game Maclin will be the top receiver on the field. Given that he is going against the Titans, I don’t see raising his value that much. Last week was a huge game from his fantasy owners and Maclin is fast developing into one of the better second WRs in fantasy football. You can count on him down the stretch, regardless of which QB is playing.

Dwayne Bowe, WR, KC – I was big on this guy going into the year and he has been a HUGE disappointment for myself and any fantasy owners still clinging to him. One good game is not enough to count on him, but he has an even better match-up against the Jaguars next week. Feel comfortable starting him for at least one more week this season.

Ryan Torain, RB, WAS – He got banged up a bit at the end of this game and he won’t be better than a bye-week or injury plug-in in most weeks… However, apparently he is trust-worthy if there is a squishy match-up on the horizon. Don’t take a chance on him next week.

Calvin Johnson, WR, DET -You were worried about his injury weren’t you? Me too! He is thankfully one of the guys you start when he is active… so let’s hope you stuck to that! If not, let this be the last “start your studs” lesson you have to endure.

Andre Johnson, WR, HOU – I saw a question on Twitter on Sunday… “Andre Johnson or Brandon Lloyd?” I almost died inside. Huge game for fantasy owners and Texans fans alike this week from Johnson and if I were to draft a new team today he would still be my number 1 receiver.

Greg Jennings, WR, GB - It came almost completely from one big play, but that is what Jennings does. He will need to be started next week because the absence of Finley will lead to more looks deep to Jennings.

Matt Schaub, QB, HOU – Owners of Schaub have been getting restless. They drafted one of the elite seven QBs and have not gotten that in return. Finally a strong outing from Schaub and he will hopefully stay closer to the stats he has been able to put up the past two seasons.

Frank Gore, RB, SF – He didn’t find the end zone, but over 140 yards rushing is impressive. I had him as my number 3 overall RB in the pre-season and after watching him remain productive through the struggles of his team, I would keep his value the same today.

Duds

Hakeem Nicks, WR, NYG – Just when it looked like we could trust him… He had a great match-up and was still not able to get fantasy owners a single point. Manning used Steve Smith as his favorite weapon on Sunday, but the running game was effective and passing was not a high priority. I still like Nicks as the best fantasy receiver in New York, but the love for him has gotten a bit out of hand and should be scaled back.

Miles Austin, WR, DAL - The Cowboys are in trouble, they have talent and no leaders in the locker room. Austin is consistently productive and had it not been for a costly penalty he would be on the other list!

Visanthe Shiancoe, TE, MIN – 0 receptions, 0 targets. That is not how I saw Randy Moss impacting Shiancoe’s role in this offense. In my defense, I don’t think that is why he had no targets! The Vikings had issues protecting Favre and relied on the TE position as a blocker rather than a receiver. TDs will go down from last season, but this guy could have some big passing plays come his way this season.

Santonio Holmes, WR, NYJ – It looked like Holmes was out of sync with the offense this week, he had an opening on a reverse and couldn’t find it among other things. He will develop into a better deep threat with each week and will eventually kill the value of Braylon Edwards.
